Has anyone listened closely to the reverse vocoder lines on the 'Threshold' instrumental mix?

The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.
Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies.

Upload coming to the Ashford Poly incoming FTP directory once my upload finishes.

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal.
